Kalmar Ottawa T2

Revolutionary. Again. Meet the T2

The Kalmar Ottawa T2 is the next-generation machine from the inventor of the terminal tractor. Designed to bring order, control, and efficiency to your trailer handling, the T2 combines superb power, function, and performance with excellent ergonomics and easy maintenance. It features faster fifth-wheel lifting to speed up your trailer handling, a completely redesigned cab for improved driver comfort and productivity, and easy-access service points to speed up routine checks and servicing – critical in today’s fast-paced terminal environments.

The new standard in terminal tractors

We’ve gone back to the drawing board and consulted with the real terminal-tractor experts, our customers, to create a machine that delivers where it really matters – on your bottom line. From the ground up, every aspect of the T2 is designed to make the high-pressure task of spotting trailers in your terminal smoother, safer, and more efficient. Its modular chassis is built to cope with the heavy demands of terminal operations, yet is lightweight enough to reduce fuel consumption and increase maneuverability. Fifth-wheel lifting is faster and more powerful than ever, thanks to the quick-lift cylinders, spherical top and bottom bearings, and improved lift support. And when it comes to the cab and driving environment, we really took things beyond the ordinary, with easier and safer entry and exit, superb visibility and protection, and unparalleled comfort and user-friendliness.

T2 on-road

The T2 in the 4x2 configuration is DOT/EPA certified as road-ready. It's perfect for distribution operations in dispersed warehouses and terminals where short-distance highway travel is required.
